Five years ago, I started following "Travelandleisure" on Instagram and an absolutely beautiful photo of a city I had never heard of popped up on my feed. I immediately began googling "BRUGES/BRUGGE", found out it was in Belgium, and I have wanted to come to this little gem on the globe since then.
I still can't get over this place, it was so beautiful! It is full of history that dates back to the first century BC where the original buildings were built to protect the city against pirates. It spared destruction while being occupied by the Germans during WWI and WWII and most of it's medieval architecture remains intact today.
After being on my travel radar for years, it didn't feel real that I was in Bruges.
I couldn't wait to explore this city!
The people of Bruges were kind and went out of their way to help you. Bruges is known for chocolates and antique lace and I enjoyed checking out all the little shops. One bite of a Belgian waffle was all it took for Chez Albert to ruin waffles for me for the rest of my life and the Belgian beer wasn't too shabby either! We pretty much just walked, ate, and drank our way through this city.

There were picturesque views of canals and cobblestone streets everywhere you turned. We felt very relaxed in this city and could have spent another day here.
I love this handsome man and this BEAUTIFUL CITY!
Do you have a specific city or country that has been on your bucket list for awhile? I hope that it is everything you imagine it will be, as this city was for me!
